which I did not enjoy. I was shown to
my bed in a very small room which should
more properly be called a closet, as it
was of extremely small dimensions, and
but a trifle larger than the single bed
with which it was occupied and
which seemed to me to be situated in
a sort of outhouse at the back of the
main premises as we were obliged to
reach it by going through the kitchen
and a sort of back yard. I at length
got to bed, but it was a long time
before I got to sleep; for now having
an opportunity to collect my thoughts
I began to be troubled with a horrible
suspicion that the ticket I had bought
and paid $30 for might be worthless.
This thought kept me awake for a
long time, but tired nature at length
triumphed over horrid thoughts, bed-
bugs with which the bed seemed to be
swarming, and rats which kept

Transcription Conventions

Spelling: Maintain original spelling (including u/v, i/j, and ff). Long "s" should be replaced with a regular "s". Terminal long "i" characters are transcribed as "i" not "j".
Hyphenation: Preserve hyphens (including "=" characters) at the ends of lines.
Capitalization: Maintain original
Punctuation: Add modern periods, but don't add punctuation like commas and apostrophes.
Deletions: Deleted characters and words are tagged with "strike" and then displayed with the line through them.
Symbols: For apothecary and alchemical symbols, use these symbols followed by the meaning of the symbol in brackets: Rx [recipe]; ℈ [scruple]; ʒ [dram]; ʒs [half dram]; ℥ [ounce]; ℥s [half ounce]; ℔ [pound].
For roman numerals following symbols that indicate amount, i.e., j=1, ij=2, iij= 3, v=5, type arabic numeral in brackets following roman numeral: i [1], ii [2], iii [3], v [5].
Line Breaks: Hit return once after each line ends. Two returns indicate a new paragraph, which is usually indentation following the preceding sentence in the original. The times at the end of each entry should get their own paragraph, since the software does not support indentation in the transcriptions.
Illegible text: Indicate illegible readings in single square brackets: [Dr?]
A single newline indicates a line-break in the original document, and will not appear as a break in the text in some views or exports. Two newlines indicate a paragraph, and will appear as a paragraph break in all views.
